Ph.D. Program in
Literary and Cultural Studies
A doctoral student must
declare a major field and a minor field chosen from the specialties
available among the faculty.
With the approval of his
or her Advisory Committee, a student in Literary and Cultural Studies
may choose Composition, Rhetoric, and Literacy as a minor field. A
student's
Advisory Committee may also allow a student to choose a major field as
above, and to develop a minor field in a discipline
other than English (such as history, philosophy, art history, music
history, etc.), with appropriate graduate level coursework in another
department.
Required
Course
Distribution
One course (3 hours) in Literary Criticism and
Theory
This course must be at the 5000 or 6000 level. It must be other than
criticism courses taken for the M.A. If a Ph.D. student has not done
the equivalent of our Literary Criticism (Engl 5313) course at the M.A.
level, then that course may be used to fulfill this requirement. No
directed readings allowed.
Nine
courses
(27 hours) in the Concentration
Eight of these should be at the 5000 or 6000 level.
Only
one may be a directed reading. One of the eight courses may be in
Composition, Rhetoric, and Litereacy (3 hours). One course (3 hours)
may be substituted with a 5000 level course outside the Department, in
a discipline closely related to the student's major field. Such a
substitution needs Advisory Committee approval. If a student wishes to
develop a minor field in a discipline other than English, then the
Advisory Committee may require him or her to take two 5000 level
courses (6 hours), as well as additional graduate courses, outside the
Department.
